In the world of high-speed racing, a beloved driver is contemplating his future in the sport. After a thrilling performance at the Singapore Grand Prix, the 35-year-old veteran reflected on his journey, acknowledging that his time in the driver’s seat may be coming to an end.
Despite setting the fastest lap of the day and earning the adoration of fans, the Australian driver finished a disappointing 18th, lagging behind the winner by a full lap. Rumors have been circulating about his potential replacement, and his post-race comments did little to quell the speculation.
When asked if his time in the sport was indeed up, the driver responded with a mix of candor and introspection. “It’s possible, you know. I have to acknowledge that,” he said. “It’s been a little bit of a race-by-race situation, and I would have obviously loved the weekend to have gone better. It didn’t, so I have to be prepared for… this may be it.”
The driver’s words were tinged with a sense of acceptance and gratitude, as he looked back on a career spanning over a decade. “I do feel, let’s say, at peace with it,” he continued. “At some point, it’ll come for all of us. I tried to get back to the top, it didn’t work out. So then I also have to say, ‘OK, what else am I ultimately doing here and trying to achieve?’”
As he ponders his next move, the driver hinted at a possible shift in focus, away from the thrill of racing and toward new challenges. “Maybe it’s something different, maybe I go on and climb mountains or something,” he mused.
For now, the driver is savoring the memories of his time in the sport, including the small consolation of earning a point for his team. “Let’s say maybe the fairytale ending didn’t happen, but I also have to look back on what it’s been, 13 or so years, and I’m proud,” he said, his voice filled with a sense of nostalgia and appreciation.
